- Pascal's principle states that in a confined fluid, an externally applied pressure is transmitted uniformly in all directions.
- Pascal's principle is also known as the principle of transmission of pressure in a liquid.
Q & A
Q: Suggest an experiment to prove Pascal’s Principle.A:
- When the plunger is pushed in, the water squirts equally from all the holes.
- This shows that the pressure applied to the plunger has been transmitted uniformly throughout the water.
